Took a walk around the 'hood with the camera to capture signs that spring is around the corner. I just love that brief period when everything looks like it's waking up. Tiny shoots poking through the dirt - "Yes, we're still here! We made it through the winter!" Plump buds on branches just waiting for longer and warmer days to unfurl their flowery, leafy goodness. If we had more snow to melt here, I would be inhaling that earthy mud smell that breaks the crispness of cold, cold days.
I think it's just so cool to plant bulbs in the fall, on faith that some kind of action will take place down in the earth by spring. Then one day in March/April, just when you've practially forgotten that you even did all that digging back in October
, voila!, the tulips, daffodils, hyacinths, etc, pop up almost overnight to herald spring with their friendly colors. It's just what I need to get me excited to plan and plant my garden.
